Has anyone changed the bolt pattern on there wheels or used the adapters. Have a pair of wheels I really like but they are 4.75 bolt pattern & I need 4.50. Didn't know if you could make them into a "universal" wheel & use the shank lug nuts. The wheels are aluminum.

You could have a second pattern drilled in your axles and drums.
As a kid I once used wheel adapters on my 69 cuda to put a set of 5 on 4.5 wheels on the rear. I removed them after a couple of weeks because I was worried about the lug nuts that I couldn't see, coming loose as well as the stress I thought it was placing on the wheel bearings. I wasn't the smartest kid around but my gut told me nah get those off. Not sure if my paranoia was warranted, but I felt better about it.
